Sandisk: The Next Apple?

So, if Apple finds itself flush with cash this year, more cash than they already have I suppose, perhaps a SanDisk purchase could be in the works? I would like to see Apple show more development of brain power. Steve Jobs won't last forever, perhaps he won't even last the Federal investigation that has begun. Acquiring a competitor that already has a strong sense of Apple's abilities through competition could re-enforce the product development sensibilities at Apple. Then again, none of us knows what's happening at Apple behind closed doors. Jonathan Ive or Phil schiller may yet take the helm. Ive is a remote prospect, I know, but what I love about Apple is that it's led by a designer/engineer. Hence its abilities to adapt, and for better or worse, it's mercurial path. Still, snapping up SanDisk, or the like, could benefit them in the short term by grabbing more of the market, and by thickening the walls of the fort in the long term. Just thoughts...
